Highly Flexible Solution Frees Marketers to Get the Insights they Need and Provides a More Unified View of Digital Consumer Behavior
RESTON, VA, March 14, 2011 - Comscore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced the global launch of Comscore Digital Analytix™, an evolutionary solution in web analytics that enables digital marketers and analytics professionals to conduct in-depth forensic research on site-level activity through this highly agile and flexible data analysis architecture. Powered by the proprietary Comscore Atomix™ technology, Digital Analytix utilizes unaggregated data that gives users the ability to run the reports they want, to deliver the insights they need.
“We are very excited to announce the launch of Comscore Digital Analytix, the evolution of web analytics,” said Dr. Magid Abraham, Comscore President & CEO. “This groundbreaking solution solves two of the most prevalent issues with web analytics today. While many web analytics tools use aggregated data sets that frequently handcuff the user from running the forensic analysis they desire, our Atomix technology maintains an unaggregated data set that can be manipulated from its raw form to address any business question. Secondly, we are introducing a new dimension to the web analytics universe with audience demographics so that users can understand site-level activity within the context of a broader marketing strategy. We believe these advantages combine for a truly unique offering that will deliver cross-organizational insights that help businesses optimize their digital strategies.”
Comscore Digital Analytix offers the following benefits:
The Evolution of Web Analytics into a More Unified View of BehaviorComscore Digital Analytix leverages the product architecture and expertise of Nedstat, a leading European web analytics company acquired by Comscore in 2010, and its award-winning flagship product Sitestat.

Comscore is also bringing its unique expertise in audience measurement to the web analytics universe in developing a breakthrough technology that combines deep analytics insight with audience profiling. This advancement will enable digital marketers to map the behaviors occurring across their sites to the audience demographics of the people engaging in these activities. This link will enhance publishers’ abilities to tie higher level marketing strategies to actual conversion, providing a truly unified view of digital consumer behavior.
